Acording to my Grandma her family operated the Tavern before and after this battle. My Dad was born in Bentonville in 1923. We visited his Aunt Lou Johnson in 1961 before the Park was started. I looked in the basement of the Tavern and it was full of dirt and old bottles? My Dad's Aunt said the blood from the first floor would drip through to the fellows they had heald in the basement. My Dad's cousin ran a Civil War Musuem in Bentonville at the time. He had lots of things from the battlefield.
@lecou18 The 3rd Iowa Cavalry Company D That may exist today is NOT the same ones who fought there in 1862 nor did YOU, those people died many many years ago. You state in your post that "MY UNIT FOUGHT THERE IN 1862" You need to take writing lessons dude, my gosh. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIT.
@lecou18 Mabe you should delete your post where you state that "MY UNIT FOUGHT THERE" because it is misleading. Don't you want people to think your intelligent? and not some weirdo who thinks he fought back in 1862. I have several relatives that did.
The National Park Service has done an outstanding job of preserving this battlefield - IT IS A MUST SEE!!! I did a short video documentary on Brig. Gen Ben McCulloch on the exact site where he was killed - it's a film project I will never forget.
I've lived in this town for 18 years and i still havent been there, all i've done was drove out there and seen some deer. they have fake battles there all the time. its always in the paper lol
Seeing deer in such a peaceful place now is a blessing after the carnage of then. Alot of towns have reenactments and residents sometimes get tired of them, but it is important to never forget.

I was last there in 1985, amazing how it looks now. After seeing this, I want to go back.

My unit fought there during March 7-8 1862 and I'm going there for, hopefully, the 2012 reenactment.
